PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you wash your bed linen?
Change your bed once a week and wash the bedding at 60 °C or more.
Skin flakes, sweat and house dust mites build up in bedding. Washing weekly at a high temperature limits those allergens. Swiss Sense also mentions pillowcases 1 to 2 times a week and the duvet itself 1 to 2 times a year.
- Gather sheets, pillowcases and duvet cover
- Wash at 60°C or more against house dust mites
- Dry well before making the bed
- Make the bed again
